Chasidic Jews and New York police launched a door-to-door search for a 6-year- old Jewish boy who disappeared from his Brooklyn, N.Y. home. Police suspect Chaim Weill’s babysitter, Theresa Giannola Goldberg, a Jehovah’s Witness, in the kidnaping. Investigators suspect that Goldberg may have taken Weill, who has cerebral palsy, out of state to find a medical or spiritual cure for him.
